Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, Muskhelishvili complex function theory and boundary collocation method are used to calculate the stress intensity factors (SIF) of a plate with two cracks emanating from an arbitrary hole. The calculated examples include a circular, elliptical, rectangular, or rhombic hole in a plate. The principle and procedure by the method is not only rather simple, but also has good accuracy. The SIF values calculated compare very favorably with the existing solutions. At the same time,the method can be used far different finite plate with two cracks emanating from a hole with more complex geometrical and loading conditions. It is an effective unified approach for this kind of fracture problems.
